Custom site feature on Collaborate: Absence type and Absences
Experts.
I noticed that there are two custom site features named “Absence Type” and “Absences”. Activating the features make available two custom lists: “Absence Type” and “Absences”. However, after creating a list based on each of the new template, the lookup column “Absence Type” is not linked to the “Absence Type” list created on the same site. How can I use these two features to create a properly functioning “Absences” calendar?
Thanks.

Ralmada,
The site columns were created during the feature activation, and I know how to create a look up column to replace the malfunctioning “Absence Type” column manually and add the new column into all the views. I was just wondering if those manual steps were intended by the feature designers as they are certainly not very user friendly.
Were you able to create an “Absence” list with the “Absence Type” column working out-of-the-box? If so, what are the steps?
Thanks in advance.
